Introduction Introduction Analytical Tool checks the health of the System in a single shot. It is used for troubleshooting and diagnosing problems found in the System. Analytical Tool is like a periodic health check up that helps to identify the impending System related problems. After identifying the problem, appropriate actions can be taken to solve the problems and keep the System running smoothly and efficiently. Analytical Tool shows the status of System. Based on the status, Administrator can judge whether the respective System component is working fine (OK Status), is facing a minor problem (Warning Status) or is having a major problem (Critical Status). Accessing Analytical Tool To access Analytical tool, server IP address is required. To get the log in window, open the browser and type http://<serveripaddress>/dg.html in the browser s URL box. A dialog box appears prompting you to log. Enter Administrator Username and Password and Click OK. Asterisks are the placeholders in the password field. elitecore Technologies Ltd. 4

Gateway Reachability Gateway Reachability Gateway routes the traffic between the networks and all the User requests are forwarded to the Gateway. If the Gateway is down then the users will not be able to connect to the outside world. Gateway Reachability status, specifies whether the Server is able to contact the Gateway or not. Use to check the connectivity with following utilities: 1. Ping 2. Ping Gateway 3. Traceroute Connectivity Check Click Gateway Reachability link to use ping and traceroute utilities to check the connectivity with the Server. Ping Analytical tool provides easy to use 'ping' functionality. Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept requests. Using Ping, you can test for the existence of machines on the net and also determine the latency time for the transfer between the machine doing the ping and that being pinged. Use Ping diagnostically to 1. Ensure that a host computer you are trying to reach is actually operating or address is reachable or not. 2. Check how long it takes to get a response back. 3. Get the IP address from the domain name 4. Check for the packet loss Enter IP address or Domain to be pinged and click Ping. elitecore Technologies Ltd. 8
Gateway Reachability Ping Gateway Use Ping Gateway to 1. Check whether server is able to reach the Gateway or not 2. Check of any packet loss between Server and Gateway Simply click Ping Gateway button. It opens a new window and displays the ping statistics as follows: elitecore Technologies Ltd. 9
Gateway Reachability Traceroute Traceroute is a useful tool to determine if a packet or communications stream is being stopped at the Cyberoam, or is lost on the Internet by tracing the path taken by a packet from the source system to the destination system, over the Internet. Use this utility to find any discrepancies in the Cyberoam network or the ISP network within milliseconds. Use to trace the path taken by a packet from the source system to the destination system, over the Internet. Enter IP address or Domain to be traced and click Traceroute Traceroute displays all the routers through which data packets pass on way to the destination system from the source system, maximum hops and Total time taken by the packet to return measured in milliseconds elitecore Technologies Ltd. 10
